Also, scrolling seems to lag pretty badly when new content is loading. Using Chrome on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro. Tried InfinityJS? http://airbnb.github.com/infinity/
> " Use anything from your Nexus 7 to your mom's iPhone 4 to browse Mashable's new adaptive design.

It's largely a semantics game. Some people use one to refer to device-responsiveness versus screen-resolution-adaptiveness. Under that definition, both apply to our redesign :-)
If the primary goal is discovery of new content then I think it works pretty well. I'd prefer the "Rising" and "Hot" columns swapped, but perhaps I'm not the primary audience. I'd also like to see excerpts in the "Rising" column to help make a decision of whether I want to skim or go into detail. Also, scrolling seems to lag pretty badly when new content is loading.

We're working on it, though, and aren't happy to be content with it just yet. My goal is to be able to achieve smooth scrolling on low-end hardware, and while we're admittedly not there yet, we're gunning for it.
I'm all for responsive but readable is good too.
Shades of the Gawker redesign here. I just don't see the benefit of having 3 distracting, content-filled columns with the most important information being on the far right (on the desktop and tablet versions, anyway), unless their target audience was using Arabic or Hebrew as their primary language.
The reason that the big content is on the right is that it is the most popular content, likely already read. The new stuff is on the left, and we want the eye to move across the page in the natural way to help promote newer and rising content.

down Part of another picture!
left and up What are these little things on the left? Meh, too small to my eye which have just scanned big pictures and headlines. Ignore.
